ActorArmie Hammer first flew onto fanboys' radar when, as an unknown actor most notable for being the grandson of industrialist Armand Hammer, he was cast as Batman in the ultimately aborted Justice League movie. Flash forward a few years and, thanks to his memorable turn as the Winklevoss twins in The Social Network, Hammer is a now an in-demand leading man at only 24-years-old. He was recently cast in the Prince Charming role in Tarsem's Snow Whitemovie and is reportedly in talks to play The Lone Ranger opposite Johnny Depp's Tonto. This got me thinking about other iconic heroes that the towering Hammer would be a good pick to play.

Flash Gordon: Not only does Hammer resemble the pulp legend and granddaddy of all sci-fi heroes, he also has the acting chops and screen presence to bring what could be a wooden character to life.

Batman: Yep, re-cast him as The Dark Knight after Nolan and Bale are done with their trilogy. Hammer is a handsome, athletic, 6'5" billionaire heir to an industrial dynasty -- he really IS Bruce Wayne! Whether it's a resurrected JLA film or a whole new Batman movie, Hammer would make a helluva caped crusader.

Robocop: Hammer's height and voice could make the reboot's Murphy as distinctive as Peter Weller's was.

Eliot Ness: There are a few films in development featuring the gangbusting Treasury agent who busted Chicago mob boss Al Capone. There's the screen adaptation of the graphic novel Torso and also Ness/Capone, which offers a less romanticized portrait of the G-Man than The Untouchables did.

George Washington: Director Robert Redford had long tried to make a biopic about America's first President but to no avail. If it ever were to get made, Hammer would seem an ideal choice to play the tall founding father.

Daredevil: I could see him as Matt Murdock in the planned Fox reboot. He'd be a helluva lot better than the rumored Robert Pattinson!

Bucky O'Hare: Like Jaxxon, Bucky is a sci-fi rabbit who originated in comic books, but he also later got his own cartoon, video game and toys.

Roger Rabbit: Sure, he's wacky and grating, but he's also the title character in one of the best animation/live-action hybrids ever produced. And he was playing more than pattycake with Jessica, for which he earns mucho cred.

Harvey: He may have been an imaginary friend, but when you are James Stewart's imaginary friend that's OK by me.

Killer Rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail: "Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!"

Thumper: C'mon, it's Bambi's buddy. And he's so frickin' adorable.

Watership Down: One of the heaviest animated tales I can imagine.

Frank, from Donnie Darko: The screen's creepiest, most apocalyptic rabbit.

Bugs Bunny: Need I say more?

Alice in Wonderland's White Rabbit & March Hare: OK, so it's a bit of a cheat including them both, but they are among the most iconic rabbits in literature and movies. My personal favorite representations of them are in the classic Disney animated version and in the 1985 film Dreamchild, featuring creepy creature suits from the Jim Henson Company. Scroll to about the 3:30 mark in the clip below to see them.

Warren Beatty has won a legal victory against Tribune Entertainment, according to The Chicago Tribune: "Beatty, who acquired rights to the character from Tribune Co.'s Tribune Media Services in 1985 and made the 1990 movie Dick Tracy starring himself and Madonna, filed suit in Los Angeles federal court in 2008 after Tribune Co.'s Tribune Media Services said those rights had reverted back to it." The court upheld Beatty's claim that he met his legal obligations to hold onto the screen rights to the classic comic strip detective.

It's been 21 years since he was last on the silver screen. First, do you think we actually need another Dick Tracy movie (that's assuming one might ever actually get made)? And, if so, who should take over the role from the 74-year-old Beatty? Sound off in the Comments below. Here are my casting picks:

Jon Hamm: The Mad Men star's simply ideal for the role.

George Clooney: Stop blaming Batman & Robin all on him. That was a team-wide failure. Give the Oscar winner another crack at comic book movies with this character.

Aaron Eckhart: The Dark Knight thesp has the look and chops for it.

Clive Owen: This Brit earned his Noir comic book movie cred on Sin City. He'd be good for this, too.

Ben Affleck: Like Clooney and Batman, this ex-Daredevil might make for a better Dick Tracy instead. And like Beatty and Clooney, Affleck could also direct the movie as well.

Bruce Willis: He's got Tracy's profile, and he can do the tough guy, old school thing in his sleep by now. But could you buy John McClane in a yellow fedora and trench coat?

Kiefer Sutherland: Jack Bauer would make for one badass Dick Tracy. And he'd kill you six ways from Sunday if you made one joke about his choice of attire.
